RAYMOND GARY
People are always suspicious of
what they - don’t understand
That’s 'why you so often hear
criticism' of Oklahoma politics —
in both parties The same is true
in every other state regardless
of which patty is in control or
how effective the program of gov-
ernment being offered - 'N
Whatever may be wrong it’s
customary to blame “the politi
cians” Almost nobody argues
against it
Let me hastily admit that poli-
tics like every other human en-
deavor can stand improving But
the improvement wilt come only
after more people become active
participants
Too often those most critical of
Oklahoma politics are people who
knoW least about it Some of the
greatest “exports” on what’s wrong
don’t bother to register or vote
To criticise everything political
is an extremely short-sighted view
In our free society nearly every-
thing contains at least a tinge of
politics
You’ll find it in your club the
Chamber of Commerce and the
place where you work It’s hard to
live a single day without coming
in contact with some kind of poli-
tical situation
- The wise man therefore becomes
expert in such matters— both
where his business and government
are concerned By so doing he be-
comes -a more useful citizen:- and
generally more successful- '
Every political group is after all

an organisation of people In this
state and nation they abide by
majority rule
' Anyone is welcome to join a po-
litical party In fact even a slight
indication that you want to parti-
cipate draws an eager response
from the “politicians”
If you think the political party
you favor needs an injection” of
new ideas Qr better ethics the
thing to do is join You can im-
prove it by whatever you bring
with you that ia good -
The first rule of politics is com-
promise Nobody accomplishes
Ktuch in either government or a
political party unless he can see
a point of view other than his own
and keeps working for wjiat he
considers right and just even
though he’s sometimes disappoint-
ed - -
Prima dnnas don’t last long
They’d rather pout and complain
than be a part of making pro-
gressive improvements
I think we have far better than
average government in Oklahoma
because our people take a greater
interest in politics than is true
many other places It can be even
better however '
Whether it becomes so or not
depends on you yoters It all hinges
on careful study of candidates and
issues by all the people not just
a few

don’t be fooled V gas
costs 4 times less to use
You may have heard the average cost of cooking by a
non-flame method is only $200 or so a month We do not f
j know for how many meals or how many persons but we do y
know flame-fast gas in most areas costs less than
one-fourth as much to use as any flon-flame cooking method !
This means: If you can cook by an artificial non-flame
method for $200 per month — you can do the same
i amount of cooking with gas for only 50 a month! What’s
more an automatic gas range costs less to buy less to
- install and less to operate and maintain
